Transylvania Liberal Arts + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Join us at this ally event with Transylvania University!


Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

Let’s change that. Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to the liberal arts and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. People of all gender identities and expressions are encouraged to participate.

Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. You can learn how to do that here:
